PR87136
NAIROBI, Kenya, Dec. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
-- Latest UN reports show that fossil fuel production plans risk
sinking Paris goals - observers from across the world call on
governments to tackle fossil fuel production head-on at Paris
anniversary summit.
As the 5th Anniversary of the Paris Agreement approaches, leaders from around
the globe call for renewed international cooperation to develop a plan to wind
down fossil fuel production consistent with the agreed upon limit of 1.5C of
warming and offer a roadmap to achieve it.
WHAT: Indigenous, government, civil society, youth and academic leaders will
offer a press briefing outlining the importance of the issue of fossil fuels to
international climate action and steps that can be taken to address their
production and proliferation.
Speakers will cover how the Production Gap (https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=3006994-1&h=210781660&u=http%3A%2F%2Fproductiongap.org%2F2020report%2F&a=the+Production+Gap )
(per the United Nations Environment Programme) between plans for coal, oil,
and gas and the scientifically agreed carbon budget has grown since the Paris
Agreement came into effect and steps that can be taken to close it.
Panelists will share on-the-ground experiences resisting fossil fuel projects
and the need for a coordinated global approach to the danger of fossil fuels
with wealthy fossil fuel producing countries leading and enabling nations more
dependent on fossil fuels to make an equitable energy and economic transition.
